I now understand the de facto community rule of not excerpting one’s own blog.

I wont do that again.

As for hostility, I take into account where (to the best of my ability) someone is coming from.

Take ‘n the know’ as an example. The context in which I take him is a 10% brainpower-fueled/90% testosterone-fueled inarticulate Neanderthal. Guys like him are a dime a dozen and don’t phase me in the least.

You are not that and I never thought you were, but you could have been better mannered to a new comer, as was McGruff.

One more note on FReeper etiquette. It is generally polite to ping anyone you mention ina post, whether the post is addressed to them or not.

That’s not to say it’s always done, it’s just the polite thing to do.

You're gonna LOVE me.
